That is only a variation of (b) above - if you can't trust your backup procedure, a missing backup not your primary problem. Well, what I mean is that a compressed tar is not reliable as a backup procedure. I don't know what is reliable in Linux, but tar isn't. It is much less reliable than, for example, the old pctools backup from central point software was twenty years ago.
Okay, that's an interesting point - I don't think I have heard anyone complain about tars reliability before. What do you see as a more reliable tool/utility then?

I used Microlite's BackupEdge and never had a problem with restores even to bare metal. It also supports DVD media. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
